kidso Report post Posted September 5, 2010 Finally went out to check my three cams that I've had up in 23 N since the last week in July. Wish I had an elk tag! All cams were still there, but I think someone deleted all the pics off of my second cam. I had a bucket of water there and it was dumped over and was pulled out of a rock cairn that I made to protect it. The first elk pic is a nice tease! One bear bit a hole in the side of my water bucket making it useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted September 5, 2010 Not unless water is bear bait! The bucket was ten feet to the left in that pile of logs. Something knocked over the log pile and moved the bucket to the spot in the photo. When I got to the spot, the bucket was another 15 feet further away on its side with bear tooth puncters in it. I think they went to it out of curiosity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted September 5, 2010 That cam is only about 5 feet off the ground and is on the primary trunk of a large pine. There is a set of three or four claw marks from a large scratch beneath the photo eye on the camera. I'm pretty sure a bear swiped it. There was also mud and dirt on it as well.
